A retired doctor has reportedly been arrested after police found drugs, guns, and prostitutes on his luxury yacht in Nantucket Harbor. The Nantucket Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration searched the 70-foot vessel Tuesday after a “wellness check” for a woman on board, according to the Nantucket Current. The owner, 69-year-old Scott Burke, now faces drug trafficking and weapons charges, police said in a statement Wednesday. Burke, a retired physician from Colorado, is scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 11.
